Beneath the Ice

Sea monster, Inuit legend, paranormal erotica

The sea monster Kaloopalooit lives in the cracks of ocean ice, devouring the children of the Arctic.

When Enooya bets her husband she's a better fisher than he
is, she sets off unperturbed to the fissures in the sea ice. After all,
the Kaloopalooit is just an imaginary monster the elders dreamed up to
scare kids.

Enooya discovers just how real the Kaloopalooit is when it
drags her into the icy water. The sea monster is beautiful and horrible,
shimmering and bizarre. In exchange for breath, it demands that Enooya
secure children for its dinner. Enooya has a better idea: Why not sample
the delicacy called woman?

Beneath the Ice is an erotic adaptation of an Inuit folktale. Appears in the anthology "Blood Addict."

Excerpt:

A creature burst from the giant hole, dreadful and beautiful. Its
glistening scales shone so brilliantly Enooya had to shield her eyes.
Its flesh glittered like fields of diamonds, gleaming with every shade
of the ocean. It was blue as the blue whale, green as algae, turquoise
as the southern coasts, and as silver as the Arctic char.

Before Enooya could make out anything beyond its dazzling colour, a
slick tail coiled around her ankles. Her knees knocked together with a
bony bang, sending streaks of pain down her legs. The coil tightened,
slithering up her thighs, around the corpulence of her ass, slippery and
smooth around her waist. She fell limp under the creature’s
stranglehold. Her eyes shut. Her head tilted to one side, too heavy to
hold upright.

The monstrous thing tugged so hard Enooya fell back with a thud. Her
shoulder blades smacked the sea ice, making her ribs rattle. Her skull
met the surface, and for a moment, everything went black.

Enooya didn’t struggle, even when the evil creature dragged her
feet-first into the frigid ocean. It tugged her body toward the
fissure, and there wasn’t a thing she could do to escape. It had her in
its power.
